Members jonphil Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 I only watch Days on a regular basis, but I think it is very entertaining right now. I've seen Y&R some, and I would say it is doing a good job. I don't know how any soap could be worse than Passions. I hate that show with a (dare I say it) passion.

Members SpiritualJunkie Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 Best: GL - makes the most out of it's crappy budget and has the best cast in daytime, IMO. Okay: Days - The writing has improved drastically but there are still some characters I could care less about (ie. John/Marlena) Worst: ATWT - Something's wrong when a soap manage to make me hate or worse, become apathetic towards what used to be my favourite characters. I can't sit through an hour (or 40 min. depending on whether I watch live or not) of this borefest anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 Nah. That would be GH. Especially on the soul part. You have just about every woman on GH selling their souls to have babies and jump through hoops to protect murderers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitchapalooza Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 Perhaps dramatic, but definetly not wrong IMO! I am just sick to my stomach over AMC and what has happened to it....2006 truly was a nosedive year for the show and so far in 2007 I am just NOT liking what they are doing, especially with the Zarf/Bianca story. Its just NOT AMC and never has been!! As for every soap losing its identity, I disagree, several soaps may be in a different place than they were 10 to 20 years ago, but there is still several things about these shows to identify with (with AMC this is not the case for me anymore, it is an empty shell of its former self and I totally disagree with the handful of posters who are claiming the show is "improving vastly"...I am not seeing anything but desperate material from a desperate writing team). Also, I agree with those posters about GH aswell...I never said the show was great because it is FAR from it!!! GH for me is the epitome of mediocrity at the moment.

Members kentville Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 The best: Days The worst B&B-Bell is ruining this show week by week. It's not even watchable anymore. The Worst Passions a poor excuse for a soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kylie Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 AMC has lost it's identity, I agree...but the worst, I dunno about that.LOL AMC is a mess, even if it is slowly showing signs of life, but there is worse out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitchapalooza Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Nope I disagree...AMC is the absolute worst soap on the air at the moment...followed VERY VERY closely by PASSIONS. There is just no if ands or buts about it!! And these "slight improvements" or "signs of life" are bogus!! AMC has not improved at all IMO...what may be coming off as improvement to you is coming off as weak and desperate to me! I expect ALOT more than what AMC is attempting to serve at the moment!

Members Adam Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Well Mitch, you are certainly honest I am sorry AMC no longer has anything to offer you That alone is a reason Mr. Brian Frons and any other idiot under him at ABC Daytime needs to be fired because Mitch, there are tonnes more of ya out there! AMC isn't the AMC we all grew up on while I certainly don't agree its went as far as you feel it has, something is definately missing from the show I grew up on. I hope one day (although all hope when it comes to ABC falls on deaf ears) you can find something in AMC again you can identify with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitchapalooza Posted January 10, 2007 Members Share Posted January 10, 2007 You know what...I have said it since DAY 1...Frons is the problem, he is the UNIVERSAL problem that is associated with the ABC Soaps. How this man is still employed at ABC is BEYOND me!! Its hard to say these things about AMC, because it holds such a soft spot in my heart and along with DAYS/Y&R, it is majorly associated with my childhood. I don't know, I just keep hoping for something better, something to pull me back in....cause it takes a lot to make me stop watching. In this age of the dying soap genre, I just fear that time is running out for many of our daytime shows, perhaps the good days ARE behind us for some of the soaps. I only want the best for AMC and daytime in general, watching it go through this nasty skid has been difficult, mainly because AMC has never really gone through such a major skid like this IMO in the past (or one quite so bad). I have not lost hope though, I will continue to hope for the best, especially for AMC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 10, 2007 Members Share Posted January 10, 2007 Its good you are still keeping a positive attitude Mitch because it today's daytime world, it gets harder and harder. But really, DAYS renaissance in my mind proves there IS hope for this genre. I mean, Hogan is doing a kick ass job if he can get me, a historical DAYS downer to actually tune into the show every once in a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R3dheartz Posted January 10, 2007 Members Share Posted January 10, 2007 As of right now (I know, I need to update my siggy) Best: AMC, Y&R, DAYS ok: PAS, GH, ATWT Worst: OLTL, GL, B&B In the Past month I think AMC has gotten better from where is was and I think ATWT has gotten better recently as well.
